What a great place to stay in historic Marblehead. Parking is a bit difficult with large vehicles (Yukon XL) but we did just fine. The property was clean, communication with John was super easy and timely. We really didn’t want to leave. Such a great property in a great town. 100% would book again!

We absolutely loved everything about this house! It was absolutely beautiful and had so much history and charm. You could really appreciate how old the home was, but what impressed us most was how well it had been cared for and maintained over the years. It had so much character, and every part of the house was beautiful. Staying here made our trip to Salem even more special. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely love to come back!

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Sept, 2026
We were able to immediately respond to any items that were brought to our attention. The other items brought to our attention, like a request for extra firm mattresses or a ultra-premium channel lineup, were not consistent with our listing and we are sorry that you didn't ask before you booked. Almost all our reviews are 5 out of 5, and there are numerous mentions of the comfortable beds. Although we have a hundred channels on cable and hundreds more on streaming Live TV, you also have the ability to load almost any app that you want to stream from. Our house is well over 100 years old and in great shape, but it is not new construction.

The houses is charming as is the area of Marblehead, the creaking floors there’s no way anyone can sneak around and scare people Abbott Hall, with their bell chiming every hour, was remarkable. It was just a lovely sound. We had to get used to the cars going by since we live in the country and we’re not used to living in a city. Marblehead is a very quaint little area, walking distance to the beach, plenty of restaurants and stores. Salem just up the road about 15 minute's, Boston is about an hour, Plymouth about an hour and a half. It is a perfect place to stay. My suggestions would be - install a shower curtain instead of the 1/2 glass panel in the upstairs bathroom, beautiful claw foot tub , downstairs showers is claustrophobic. If we decide to head back to Massachusetts we will definitely be staying again.

Great place to stay with all of the necessities for a multi day stay. The place was clean and charming. The area is a beautiful part of town. John, the host, made the check in process easy with great directions, instructions, and recommendations. He was responsive to questions and provided more info/recommendations for the surrounding area(s) when asked.
